                             Notes from the arena champ.

Yup, me again.  According to Belinda, I fought an easy podunk -- again.  Why does she 
say that about a fine warrior like Ishibo?  I guess she is prejudiced?  Sad.

I was thinking I might challenge one of those Bash Brother warriors, but it wouldn't 
be fair, really.  They are such puds.  I wish one were an aimer; I still yet need my 
aimer-kill.  I do.  The rest of you challenger champs, feel free to get it on with me.  
You, at least, have a small chance of winning.  

I'll see you with Colonel Mustard, in the Kitchen, with, whaddaya think, a....

                                          -- Candlestick

                                      SPY REPORT

     Fun things to do with a CANDLESTICK.  Burn it on both ends!  Melt it down and 
sculpt it into whatever you want.  Unstick drawers and zippers.  Cover it with 
material and make a pin cushion.  Waterproof address labels.  And my personal 
favorite, window caulk!  Let this be a lesson to anyone who wants to claim I'm picking 
on someone else.  If I want to pick on someone, I WILL do it whole heartedly.  Perhaps 
Lady Smithy will find a use for you in what you thought was going to be a cushy 
retirement, CANDLESTICK!
     I do have to give the USEFUL WEAPON my appreciation, though.  Going after perhaps 
the youngest warrior with the intent to kill?  Now that is a thing of beauty.  It 
didn't work out for the killing part, but it did keep CANDLESTICK on the throne and 
was enough for the Commission to recognize it as a Lord Protector.  Personally, if I 
was not going to use the CANDLE for something useful, I would use it for light, not 
for protection.  I'm pretty sure all those AB's he complained about are more than 
adequate protection for Alastari.
     But there was a death this turn.  The promising UVEAX SKULLMAKER will only be 
making one more skull... His own.  It would have been much cooler if PANTOMIME had 
made that challenge and it not have been a match up, but I will take any brutal 
mismatch turning into death!
     Meanwhile, SERGEANT SCHULTZ (perhaps should be renamed to SERGEANT DUNCE) decided 
to try and avenge a death against one of our Challenger Champs, FHTAGN.  That is how 
you put yourself 6 feet under, yes siree!  Sadly, SCHULTZ escaped with his life.
     Joining CANDLESTICK in graduation are ISHIBO (who found the MOTHER LODE of JUST 
DESSERTS) and NINE-TAILED FOX who will likely try to stay away from the water 
(especially WAVES TOO BIG) in the future.
     DA ZAGAGNE moved to 4-0 after another silly upchallenge by AKETI WARSINGER.  
People!  DC!  It is much easier to find wins below you.  But perhaps AKETI was looking 
for a free fight, not a victory.
     CANADA EH! won the unchartered awards.  AVENGERS took the team on the move award.  
WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! took the final award that was up for grabs.
     I claim a three way tie for the top team this turn.  Nobody really had that kind 
of turn, but THE OUTLAWS 4, JUST DESSERTS, and DARKNESS FALLS all returned to the 
sands this cycle.  Welcome back.  I'm certainly glad you're all back.  (And frankly, 
so are most of your oppoenents)  Better luck next time, I say!
     WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! avoided BIRDS, the most avoided team.  BIRDS avoids the 
sands.  Not sure why.  Those fans leave plenty of food in the stands. There were 20 
fights by 39 warriors fielded by 10 teams.  As for me, I'm tired after the short day 
of fighting, but the long day if you include my spy report.  I'm off to take a nap!  
Catch you next time!
